__The National Theatre’s__ acclaimed new production of *The Crucible* transfers to the West End this June for a strictly limited season, featuring __Milly Alcock__ (*House of the Dragon*) as Abigail Williams, __Caitlin FitzGerald__ (*Masters of Sex*) as Elizabeth Proctor, and __Brian Gleeson__ (*Bad Sisters*) as John Proctor.

Olivier Award-winner __Lyndsey Turner__ directs this electrifying new production with set design by __Es Devlin__ in a ‘magnificent restaging’ (*The Telegraph*) of __Arthur Miller’s__ masterpiece, a gripping parable of power and its abuse.

A witch hunt is beginning in Salem…

Raised to be seen but not heard, a group of young women suddenly find their words have a terrible power. As a climate of fear spreads through/ the community, private vendettas fuel public accusations and soon the truth itself is on trial.

Please note: Please arrive in plenty of time as latecomers may not be admitted until a suitable break in the performance. You may not bring food or drink purchased elsewhere.
